All of these wrist-mounted fitness gizmos are pretty nifty , but we always wonder how they get those rigid circuit boards into such an unsuitable form-factor. Well, thanks to those scalpel-happy boffins at the FCC’s underground bunker, wonder no more. Nike’s FuelBand was wheeled in on a trolley and torn (quite literally) to pieces, and we felt we just had to share the pictures with you.

The Engadget stage was home to many an interview at this year’s CES . Many, many interviews. Given the deluge of guests we hosted in Las Vegas this year, you could be forgiven for not keeping up — for throwing up your hands in exasperation and making a sandwich to heal the hurt

Either TI has the hots for Arduino in a big way, or its latest wireless charging kit isn’t quite ready for mass production. When it does arrive, however, it promises to do away with those cumbersome specialized sleeves and back covers that are currently needed for inductive charging

Texas Instruments promised us a new helping of OMAP right around a year ago , and sure enough, OMAP 5 processors will be sampling to partners as early as next week. Texas Instruments’ Remi El-Ouazzane (VP of OMAP) just debuted an OMAP 5-based reference design (or “development platform,” if you will) on our CES stage , a solid four years after OMAP 3 debuted on a nondescript Archos tablet. OMAP 5 brings along a pair of cores and plenty of power savings, a dual-GPU architecture and more raw horsepower than the average simpleton is used to handling in a single palm.

Google TV’s looking for a second wind here at CES, but for those of you uninterested in buying a new TV (or a new set-top box, for that matter), here’s a little diddy that just might tickle your fancy. Always Innovating is making a triumphant return to Las Vegas with what might be the raddest little gizmo of the show. The simply-titled HDMI Dongle is effectively an entire system on a chip dongle (and yeah, it looks a lot like Roku’s Streaming Stick ), boasting a Cortex-A9, between 256MB and 1GB of RAM, inbuilt WiFi / Bluetooth, an NFC module and even an accelerometer

Neonode’s name isn’t plastered on your spate of gizmos, but if you’ve purchased a touchscreen-based device in the past year or so, there’s a better-than-average chance that it’s technology is tucked within. In the run-up to CES, the outfit is introducing the world’s first ultra-low power single-chip optical touch controller, NN1001

Webcams have certainly narrowed the distance between loved ones, but it’s hard to argue that two people hovering over their laptop screens can rival an in-person conversation. Moving things over to the big screen could make the exchange much more comfortable for everyone involved — you just need an HDTV, and a Biscotti
